Hey good job i had a weigh in two weeks ago and was down 25 but once i got my surgery date i got lazy with the diet and gained a pound. Yesterday i had to go to the hospital and sign my consents and get my lab work done.... 4 more days for me

I think since its a long weekend that will help me out just trying to keep busy. Fri- Dodger Game, Sat-sisters birthday then i work Sunday and Monday so I'll be just working and going to the gym and if I'm not doing either I'll sleep lol next thing you'll know its time to check in the hospital lol

Great job man. I was also one of the FAT lineman in high school and it was acceptable then but now it sucks. My surgery is next week. Thanks for sharing.

I'm having it done at Torrance Memorial. Its almost here

I am also having my surgery the 29th of this month. 8 more days to go

In my PreOp class today they told the girls not to have nail polish because it can mess with the pulse ox.

Hi I also have surgery on the 29th I also have to be on a clear diet for about two weeks after surgery and my nutrisiontist has advised me to take Isopure its 40g of protein and if I take two of those a day as my meal I should be fine. They want me to have about 80g to 120g of protein a day and also drink water. I just had a post op class today so its still fresh in my memory. Are you have the surgery here in the states or in Mexico?

May 29th too

Yeah i looked into that and someone said that it doesn't make that much of a difference. But i have a nutrition class on Monday and I'll ask then

whats a bougie? LOL

How old are you? M/F? These things contribute to the amount you'll loose and how fast you'll loose it.

My surgery is the 29th. I put a count down app on my phone and man those numbers are moving fast. Cant wait to get this over with. I know its going to be worth it. Just got to stick the plan best luck to both of you and yes God is Great!

Im kind of on the same boat but my surgery is in two weeks and my doctor didnt give me a liquid diet. I had to do a 6 month work up for surgery that included meetings and stuff and also loosing 30lbs. i got down to 26 lbs lost and once I got my surgery date I kind of started to eat whatever I wanted.

Are you going on any liquid diet before the surgery? Ive seen allot of people doing it but my doctor didnt mention anything about it

Lol 14 for me but i know what you mean lol just want to start losing already

Yeah I'm having it done here in Los Angeles, CA. Mine was also covered by my insurance. I don't think i could do it in Mexico but i was surprised to see how many people get it.

I'm feeling good trying not to over think it just keeping busy by gathering information. It'll probably hit me when I wake up the morning of. Are you having it here in the US or in Mexico? Where you from?

Whoa!! Congratulations you look amazing. :tongue2: Any tips for us preop patients?

My doctor didn't give me a liquid pre op diet, aka liver shrinkage diet, but i was wondering what it basically consists of. What are you guys allowed to drink? Thanks.

I bought some premium protein shakes at Costco they have chocolate and vanilla. The chocolate ones aren't bad and they have 30g of protein, My dr's office suggests the isopure non flavored powder protein also but i haven't tried it.
